For the first time in the history of the University, we can say this: there are more players in the NBA from Kentucky than any other school. That has never been the case before, but it begins now. And if everyone is honest with themselves, it is likely that it will remain the case over at least the next decade. John Calipari has made Kentucky a NBA Basketball factory, while also winning a national championship along the way. No one thought he could do it, but it has been done.
And it is likely the case that whatever team wins the NBA title will likely have a Cat on it. The Heat have Jorts, the Lakers have Meeks, the Thunder have Liggins and the Celtics have Rondo. Four top teams, four chances at the title. Those are pretty good odds. The reality is that Kentucky and the NBA are now all but one and starting tonight, these 20 guys will tip off in the League. Cheer them on and pull for our former stars. The Cayts are everywhere:
LA Clippers: Eric Bledsoe
New Orleans Hornets: Anthony Davis and Darius Miller
Utah Jazz: Enes Kanter
LA Lakers: Jodie Meeks
Sacramento Kings: Demarcus Cousins and Chuck Hayes
Houston Rockets: Patrick Patterson and Terrence Jones
Oklahoma City Thunder: Deandre Liggins
Washington Wizards: John Wall
Chicago Bulls: Nazr Mohammed and Marquis Teague
Boston Celtics: Rajon Rondo
Miami Heat: Josh Harrellson
Detroit Pistons: Tayshaun Prince and Brandon Knight
Charlotte Bobcats: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Milwaukee Bucks: Doron Lamb
Brooklyn Nets: Keith Bogans

Where’s D Rose?

Mags just retired with the Raptors and took an asst. coaching job, IIRC. Any chance that Kelenna or Orton still catches on with someone and gives us an even 20?
October 30th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
My starting five: AD, Demarcus, Tay, Rajon, Wall. Try and even argue against it.
October 30th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
Technically there is only 3 games tonight. So we have rondo, Harrellson, Meeks, and Wall in action tonight even though Wall is still injured.
October 30th, 2012 at 9:34 pm
For some reason my favorite one to watch is Bledsoe. His athleticism along with the rest of the Clippers makes them really entertaining.
October 30th, 2012 at 9:35 pm
Nice graphic. Bad News: League Pass is apparently going to block Memphis Grizzlies games… Good News: No Cats on that team so I don’t care.
October 30th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
Rondo, wall, gilchrist, ad, cousins
JV: knight, jodie, jones, ppat/hayes, enes

Hard to have a favorite NBA team now. I love it!
October 30th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
I steal A lot of info from HOB Cats Illustrated. Wow really?!!!

I’m glad Liggens has stuck in the NBA. Kid manned up and takeing care of his family. You know he wanted to come back for his senior year, with him not being a NBA lock. In a time when a lot of young men don’t put their family first good to see things working out for him

Not pictured: Daniel Orton.

Is anyone else thrown off by the fact that Nazr is still balling in the league? I think Nazr was at UK before Nerlens was born.
October 31st, 2012 at 12:43 am
I didn’t make a team like I didn’t go to class. Some Liggins dude took my spot.
October 31st, 2012 at 1:42 am
Dude, this graphic is awesome. How great is it to be a cat fan right now? I love it!!!
October 31st, 2012 at 6:25 am
Kanter was not a Cat.
October 31st, 2012 at 7:24 am
16) Tell Kanter that and see what he says.
October 31st, 2012 at 8:53 am
Kanter never did play for the Cats. Why do we keep including him in the conversation?
October 31st, 2012 at 9:13 am
It would be nice to have section of KSR devoted to past Cats. Or weekly segment/article devoted to them and what they did for the week. I for one, can’t be the only one who would like to know about how Patterson and Meeks are doing in pros without having to go through the awful NBA website. La Familia!

Kanter was still a part of the team. He is the reason Harrelson has seen the success he has. If he hadn’t been practicing day in and out who knows if Jorts would have had the drive that he did.
October 31st, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Does this put us as the team with the most players in the NBA?
October 31st, 2012 at 12:15 pm
That’s okay. I don’t like the NBA anyway.
October 31st, 2012 at 2:28 pm
you need to add Orton. Signed by the Thunder today.
